More About Roasterdam

The Rise of Roasterdam
Roasterdam is a young and growing coffee roastery in the Netherlands. The project was born from a return to Rotterdam, fueled by the founder’s lifelong passion for coffee. This interest began in childhood, exploring everything from filter and espresso to the percolator. On December 19, 2023, the company officially registered a name change. Operating as a sole proprietorship, the business is deeply driven by its founder’s personal rhythm. This is evident in the operations; for instance, the webshop reopened on October 1, 2025, following a three-month journey. Rather than following a rigid industrial schedule, the brand maintains a distinct, personal character.
Geographic Footprint: From Rotterdam to Zwolle
While the brand identity is strongly tied to Rotterdam, the active headquarters are now located in Zwolle. The company is registered at Rosmolen 11, 8044TT. Its business activities center on the online retail of coffee beans, falling under SBI codes 47279 and 10830, which refer to specialized food products and the processing of coffee and tea. Reports from 2026 highlight a bridge between its Rotterdam roots and this new base in Overijssel. The company marked this transition with a clear slogan: “New city, new design, same good coffee.”
Sourcing Strategy and the Focus on India
The sourcing strategy has a very clear focus on India. In 2026, father and son traveled specifically to India to source the finest beans firsthand, researching local varieties and various processing methods. The company is very transparent about the logistical challenges of the market; for example, the first shipment arrived successfully in the Netherlands despite the prevailing coffee crisis. The name “Lanka Coffee” has also appeared in recent partner announcements, though it remains publicly unclear whether this is a sub-brand or a specialized sourcing program. Detailed transparency reports or the names of partner farms are currently unavailable.
The Flavor Profile: Monsooned Malabar
The online assortment is compact but highly curated. The absolute flagship is the India Monsooned Malabar. These green beans are exposed to the humid monsoon air for three to four months, a process that creates a strikingly full, earthy flavor. Tasting notes describe almond, dark chocolate, and tobacco, with acidity intentionally kept very low. The brand currently focuses on the following two retail variants:

In May 2024, the branding for this coffee was made lighter than before. For filter coffee, the brand offered an organic Ethiopian natural in early 2026, bringing bright notes of strawberry, raspberry, and sweet peach. Information regarding a broader omniroast strategy or decaf options is not public.
Local Sales and Sustainability
Roasterdam sells its beans primarily through its live webshop. Within Rotterdam, the brand personally delivers orders to customers, doing so by bicycle whenever possible. This local bike delivery is the company’s most concrete sustainability claim, benefiting the environment while guaranteeing direct, personal customer contact. Their official tagline puts it perfectly: “Brewing on something good.” Broad climate data or formal certifications are not currently available to the public.
HoReCa Partners and Future Vision
Beyond direct-to-consumer sales, Roasterdam is building partnerships within the hospitality sector. Brunch Boutique in Gouda now serves Lanka Coffee, and the company recently announced “Miss Cherry” as a new relationship within the Roasterdam family. On Instagram, the roastery still shows the traits of a startup, with around 100 followers and over 30 posts, yet its ambitions reach much further. The website describes coffee as a “special experience” that enhances drinks, meals, and even stews. As early as 2024, the brand expressed a desire to open a beautiful coffee bar, showing that the brand story will continue to expand into the hospitality scene in the coming years.
